The glioblastoma multiform has some properties including rapid growth, invasion, treatment resistance, and recurrence. Therefore, new therapies need to be developed that can be approved for using in patients. The previous study showed Arsenic Trioxide inhibits aggressive behavior in glioblastoma cells. Also,epigallocatechin-3-gallate prevents cellular proliferation, and invasion in multiple glioma cells. Resveratrol decreases cellular proliferation, induces cell death, and impaired the invasiveness of glioma cells. Combination therapy to inhibit cancer cells may have important clinical implications. Therefore, to assess the combination therapy of 2 micromole Arsenic trioxide, 100micromole EGCG, and 100micromole Resveratrol, we examined the metabolic activity, colony formation, media pH, cell proliferation, Caspase 3 activity, and gene expression analysis of BCL2, Caspase 3, MMP2, MMP9, CA9, u-PA, u-PAR, and Cathepsin B genes in apoptosis and invasion by both quantitative PCR experiments and Western blot assay. Systems biology tools also were used to obtain, the related network, involved pathways, and identifying the key genes in our selected criteria. The results of the study confirmed that the combined therapy prevents cell proliferation and induces of apoptosis in the Brain tumor cell lines including: U87-MG, A-172, and 1321N1. Furthermore, over-expression of caspase-3 and down-regulation of BCL-2, MMP-2, and MMP-9 confirmed that combination therapy leads to induces apoptosis and decreases invasion. Nevertheless, the lowering of pharmacological doses and improving therapeutic efficacy through combination therapy may provide advantages to treat resistance cancer cells with lower side effects. Finally, the results might suggest new modality for Glioblastoma treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
